New Cave Story 3D Screenshots Show 2D Characters

A new batch of screenshots has been released for the upcoming Cave Story 3D that show off the use of the original 2D sprites and weapons in combination with the new 3D backgrounds. The use of the original 2D sprites can be selected in the main menu to get that original Cave Story feel, and it’s a nice addition for those who prefer them to the new graphics.

Check out the screenshots after the break and let us know what you think.

John is what you might call something of a badass. When he's not writing about games or playing them, he's playing in the Kansas City band "Documentary" and drinking as many different beers as often as he can. He's a huge comic nerd in the best sense of the term, with a particular love for the Creator Owned movement.
